Judy Weiser defines therapeutic photography as “photo-based activities
that are self-initiated and conducted by oneself (or as part of an
organized group or project), but where no formal therapy is taking place
and no therapist or counselor needs to be involved.”
Photography and lens-based practices are powerful tools for self-reflection, growth, awareness, and connection with the world around us. You will be introduced to various photo-based therapeutic practices, based on the research of social scientists and artists. You will be invited to apply these practices through guided photo and written assignments to create your own body of work.
This course will be focused on participants and different topics they would like to explore/experiment with. It will best suit students interested in conceptual contemporary photography and psychology.
Designed for intermediate to advanced
photographers. Digital SLR or mirrorless cameras are mandatory. Good
knowledge of photo editing software is a plus.
